Chapter 1124: Chapter 1122 Auctioning the Copper Fragment

One quiet night passed, and in the morning, when Madame Daphne woke up, there was an extra breakfast on the table.

Though it was just simple soy milk and fried dough sticks, Daphne had never had it before and found it surprisingly delicious, even licking her fingers at the end.

“Is it really that good?” Wang Dadong was surprised.

“Uh…” At that moment, Daphne remembered Wang Dadong was watching the whole time, and her face flushed slightly.

“Have you thought about what to do with this thing?” Wang Dadong saw Daphne was a bit embarrassed and changed the topic.

Daphne nodded, then took the pendant off from her chest and handed it to Wang Dadong, saying, “Can I let you keep it for me?”

Wang Dadong did not take the pendant immediately but asked, “I suppose you’ve seen its effects. With it, you essentially have an extra life. Are you sure you want to give it to me?”

In life, dangers are everywhere. In a way, this copper box fragment is like a heaven-defying treasure.

Actually, Daphne was reluctant to give away such a treasure, but she knew her own abilities. She couldn’t keep such a treasure.

“Yes, but I have one condition,” Daphne said.

“What condition?”

“You personally escort me back home.” Surprisingly, there was a hint of expectation in Daphne’s eyes.

Wang Dadong thought for a moment, then nodded, “Okay, I will escort you back home.”

Actually, even if Daphne hadn’t made this request, Wang Dadong would have done so. Before Daphne woke up, he had already received Hao Wentao’s task directive—to rescue Daphne and safely escort her out of Huaxia.

If someone as famous as Daphne were to be harmed in Huaxia, it would certainly bring a lot of negative impact to the country, so the state was very attentive to this matter.

In order for Wang Dadong to accept this task, Hao Wentao spent a huge price, promising Long Qiuyu a period of leave.

Now Wang Dadong had successfully rescued Daphne, and all that was left was to safely send her back to America.

“But before that, we have to release some news,” Wang Dadong pondered for a moment and said.

“What news?”

“You’re going to hold a private auction.”

Daphne looked at Wang Dadong, puzzled about what he meant.

“I can’t keep this thing either. It has to be transferred to someone capable,” Wang Dadong said.

“Who has that capability?” Daphne asked.

Wang Dadong chuckled lightly, “You’ll know when the time comes.”

The next day, the news spread that Daphne was going to hold a private auction.

Rumor had it that a priceless treasure would be auctioned at this event, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

“Boss, I don’t actually have to attend this auction, right?” At the auction entrance, Wang Dadong said with a bit of distress.

Unexpectedly, for Daphne’s private auction, the Female CEO was also attending and insisted on bringing him along.

“No way, you’re a shareholder of Shiyan now. How can you miss it? Last time Madame Daphne showed me such favor by personally inviting me to dine, so if possible, I’d like to bid on Madame Daphne’s auction item,” Lin Shiyan said seriously.

Wang Dadong immediately understood the Female CEO’s intention; she wanted to show goodwill to Daphne.

Indeed, winning Daphne’s auction item at a high price would be the best chance to show goodwill.

Actually, besides the Female CEO, Qu Corporation and Qiao Corporation had the same idea.

In the end, Wang Dadong had no choice but to follow the Female CEO into the auction site, realizing that if he dared not go, she would start discussing his absence from home last night or talk about Lin Xiao and their resignation issues.

Getting caught by the Female CEO was really unpleasant; someday he must use his own leverage to correct her shortcomings.

“I believe I don’t need to introduce Madame Daphne further, so today, we mainly introduce the item she is auctioning, a pendant she acquired at an auction. It’s the most mysterious among Madame Daphne’s many treasures…”

“Enough with the chatter, just tell us, what’s the starting price!” Many people seemed impatient; they came mainly to see if they could win this item to curry favor with Daphne.

As for what the item really was, they were not interested. Even if it were just a broken copper piece, they would find a way to buy it.

The emcee nodded and said, “Alright, since everyone is so eager to know its auction price, I will now announce it…”

“Its price is… priceless!”

As soon as the emcee’s words were finished, the venue erupted in an uproar; who has ever heard of a priceless item? If it’s truly priceless, why auction it?

“Everyone, please don’t rush; let me explain. Here, priceless means that to win it, you don’t need to spend a penny. If you believe you have the ability to possess it, you can take it away!” the emcee said.

“Haha, emcee, are you sure about that?” a boss from a third-rate company laughed and asked.

“Yes,” the emcee nodded.

“Alright, I believe I have the ability to own it!” the man said, striding towards the emcee’s table and reaching out to grab the pendant.

Whoosh!

Just then, an arrow shot through the air, piercing the man’s hand.

“Ah!”

The man clutched his hand, shrieking in pain.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone, prompting them to glance around the room, yet they saw nothing.

Even the emcee had beads of sweat forming on his forehead.

Seeing this scene, Wang Dadong realized those people had arrived.

Soon, the person was taken away by medical personnel.

“Now, who else feels qualified to own it?” the emcee calmed his fearful heart before speaking again.

“I’ll give it a try!” Several minutes later, someone finally spoke up.

The crowd turned to see a person fully encased in thick steel armor walking towards the emcee’s table.

Everyone was speechless; they didn’t expect that someone would have such equipment.

However, just as the person’s hand was about to touch the pendant, a curved knife flew from somewhere unknown.

Clang!

With a sound of metal clashing, both the person’s arm and the outer steel vambrace were chopped off!

The severed hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Everyone’s faces showed unparalleled astonishment, not expecting that with such thick armor protection, the person would still lose an arm.

It seemed acquiring this auction item wasn’t going to be easy.
